That she thinks he also served at Rhode Island a certain length of time, she cannot tell how long, nor under whom. That he also served at Nock Point, when Arnold deserted and Andre was hung, which events, she has often heard him speak of. but she does not recollect under whom he served; but thinks he was absent from home six months or more. That the next year after this he went again into the service and was absent nearly, or quite all the summer season she recollects of his having a man to carry on his place. She thinks he was somewhere in the vicinity of North River, but is not positive nor does she recollect

under whom he served - That he went from Rawley aforesaid at each period of his service - That she has no documentary evidence to prove his service.
She further declares, that she was married to the said Jonathan Ellsworth, on the ninth of February in the year nineteen hundred and eighty; that her husband, the aforesaid Jonathan Ellsworth, died on the sixteenth day of May in the year Eighteen hundred and fourteen; that she was afterwards married to Henry Kimball, who died on the at said Kimball more than fifteen years since; she does not recollect the day month or year of his death - She did not live with him at the time of his death - they did not live happily together and had separated by agreement several years before his death; that she was a widow on the fourth of July 1836, and still remains a widow, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.

I Oliver Blackinton above named, depose and say; that I held the office of Clerk of the Town of Mowley in the County of Essex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and that the above is a true extract from the records of said Town, with the exception above named, as certified by me.
And I further depose and say, that I have faithfully searched the record of Marriages of said town of Mowley, and do not find an entry of the marriage of said Jonathan Elsworth and Anna Mitchell. Said record shews there was no settled minister in said parish in Mowley from 1774 to 1802.
Oliver Blackinton Clerk of the Town of Mowley.
Sworn before me,
Thomas Gage, Justice of the Peace.
I Joseph Smith of Mowley in the County of Essex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, aged seventy-three years, and upwards, on oath, do testify and say, that formerly I was well acquainted with Anna Mitchell, who for a length of time received visits of one Jonathan Elsworth, she at the same time living in my father's family in said Mowley, and while residing in said family she entered into an engagement, (as I understood) to marry the said Elsworth, and they were actually married as I then and now only believe, and I do know that they afterward lived together as husband & wife. My means of knowing the above facts are that I resided in my father's family at the same time the said Anna did, and I often visited her, after she went to house-keeping as the wife of said Elsworth. I also know, that there was no settled minister in that part of Mowley when said Jonathan and Anna resided, from May 1774 to the year 1802, and therefore believe the marriage of said Jonathan and Anna was solemnized by one of the ministers of the town of Ipswich, and most likely by Revd Levi Frisby. I cannot fix the time of their marriage with certainty, but

but have reason to believe, and do actually believe their marriage took place within a few months of their publication, as stated by the Town Clerk of Rowley in the foregoing extracts, as certified by him. My reason for thinking the marriage took place about the time just mentioned, is, that my mother died when I was between eleven and twelve years of age, and the said Anna became my father's housekeeper soon after the death of my mother, and continued to about the time I have mentioned. I know the said Jonathan Elworth was a soldier of the United States, in the War of the Revolution, but the length of time he served, I am not able to state. Joseph Smith
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Essex County Feb. 17 1838.

I Daniel Fitch, pastor of the South church in Ipswich, county of Essex and commonwealth of Massachusetts, successor in office of the Rev. Joseph Dana, D. D., late of said Ipswich, deceased, depose and say; that I have in my possession the church records kept by said Dana, while he was pastor of said church, from the time of his ordination in the year 1765 to the time of his death in 1827. On a full search of said records, I find no record of the marriage of Jonathan Elsworth and Anna Mitchell, both of Rowley in said county of Essex, which is said to be solemnized by said Dana some time in the month of February, 1780, - nor do I find the record of any marriage solemnized by him where both the parties belonged to other towns than said Ipswich, unless they belonged to some town in which no ordained minister resided at the time.

Sir.
I now forward to you certificates from the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, for the service of Jonathan Drown in the war of the Revolution - 1 st in Col. Hovey's Compt. Col. Cogswell's Regt. in 1776.    2 mo. & 2 ds  {  2 d in Col. Kittel's Compt. in 1779.    1 mo. & 13 ds -  3 d in Col. Mitchell's Compt. in 1780.    3 mo. & 14 ds -  making in all six months & twenty nine days -    6 mo. 29 ds
To support the declaration for his service in the eight months campaign in 1775, nothing is yet found but except the following in Gage's history of Rarley, which will bear follows - to wit -
"Jonathan Drown was in Col. John Kittel's company, Thomas Pe, in Col. Stephen Peabody's Compt. "Col. Woodbridge's Regt.
"They were enlisted for what was called the eight months service ending in December, 1775.
"When their term of service was about to expire, no others having been enlisted to take their places, it became necessary to enlist a portion of them at least, for a short period, until others could be raised to supply their places; therefore the following named Rarley men enlisted for six weeks." - J.C.H.

Service brought over. 6 mrs 2 gds. 0 - 00 14 mrs 29 gds.
This eight months in 1775 would make fourteen months & twenty nine days and give the applicant a pension of about $50. per annum, which would make the old lady comfortable for the remainder of her life, so far as money would be necessary - she is now in a very badly managed poor house, and feeble in health, and fast growing more feeble, for want of proper care and attention, will not live many months, unless she can be placed in a more quiet, clean and comfortable situation - she has no connections living nearer than 20 miles &c and they not able to contribute to her comfort or support.
She is anxious that her case may have your immediate attention and decision, whether you give much or little, as her hopes for life and any degree of comfort, depends entirely upon what she may obtain by way of a pension -
This evidence is to be applied to the declaration of Anna Kimball, formerly the wife and widow of Jonathan Davenport of Hanley Mass.
Allow me to hope that this case may be heard from by a certificate for such amount as you can allow, in as short a time as possible. The papers were first presented by the Hon. F. Pierce in 1840 - She was of Hillsborough, in this State, is now in the poor house in Auburn N. H. where both her husbands had a residence -

I would forward Gage's History of Rawley if required - if he in Washington and you wish to look into it. what relates to the service for 1775, will be found page 202 - 203 & 204.
Capt. Kettel's roll for 1775, is not found in the Archives office - nor elsewhere.
I regret to trouble you with so long a letter, the very urgent request of the old lady and her distressed condition is my apology -
I am with much respect Your Obedt Servt -

I further depose that, in the year 1780, the aforesaid Jonathan Elsworth served as a private soldier six months or more, at West Point, he was there when Arnold deserted and Andre was hung. I am not certain what Regt. he served in, but think it was Col. Tufts's. The said Elsworth and myself lived within one mile of each other when at home -
I further state as my belief that said Elsworth served at Rhode Island in 1779 in Col. Tyler's Regt. Massachusetts Militia, we were both in the same company & Regt. we were discharged at Newport in the forepart of the winter 1780

I David T. Kimball of Ipswich in the County of Essex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Pastor of the First Church of Christ in said Ipswich, was ordained to that office October eighth in the year eighteen hundred and six, my immediate predecessor in that office was Rev. Levi Frisbie, who was ordained Feb y 7 th seventh, seventeen hundred and seventy-six, and continued in the same office to his death, which happened on the twenty-sixth day of February in the year eighteen hundred and six. The record of marriages kept by my said predecessor then , on my ordination came into my hands, as his successor and I have since had the possession and keeping of said Record of marriages, — and I do now on oath, testify and say, that having been called upon to certify the marriage of Jonathan Elsworth and Anna Mitchell both of Newbury, who are said to have been married by my  said predecessor the said Levi Frisbie, some time in the latter part of the year 1779 or early part of year 1780, that I have searched the record of marriages kept by said Frisbie, from the time of his settlement to the time of his death as aforesaid, and I do now certify that there is no entry of the marriage of said Jonathan and Anna upon said Record, and I further certify, that I find the entry of the marriage of but one couple upon said record, when both parties lived in other towns than Ipswich. It therefore appears that it was not the general practice of the said Frisbie, to enter upon his record, the marriages of solemnized by him, when both the parties lived in other towns.
